Dunes

Personal memory by Renan Miranda

2009Caraguatatuba, State of São Paulo, Brazil

When I was a kid, my family and I use to go to a beach called, Praia da Ponta Aguda. In the past this beautiful and paradisiacal beach was a wild and unknown one. We saw some people going there, but maximum of 5 people in total at the beach every single day. Attached to the sea had a river, which had also some hidden dunes on it. My family and I use to ski those dunes with body boards and we had so much fun with it. Nowadays, this particular beach is famous, and it hosts a lot of people from all over the country. The dunes are gone, and the trash is accumulating. Now it is just a common beach, with nothing special.
